Author of the poetry, novellas, and plays (since 1978). Family saga Once & Forever is her first full-length novel (in three separate parts). She first started to work on this manuscript in 1998 that represents 20 years of hard work to bring this dramatic story to life.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Once & Forever is a family saga in three books: The Children, The Parents, and The Lovers. I dreamt of a young woman, holding the infant. She was scared and tired. And behind her back was some kind of a banner: Welcome to New York. I knew that the baby wasn't hers and that she just arrived from Russia. And that's how it all started.
